Why aren't boxers adopting Conors jab out-guard?

Are you really allowed to smack a hand down in the rules? That's not really a boxing technique.

I don't know if it's technically illegal but it's done regularly.

So you really advice me despite having superior reach, to tuck my hands in?

I don't advise you to do anything. You asked why people don't do something more often. I and others explained that the something has certain drawbacks.

If you feel that the drawbacks are worth the perceived advantages then go for it. If you feel that the drawbacks outweigh the potential advantages, don't go for it. If you think you want to apply it in some situations but not in others, do that.

There is no one size fits all approach here.

It is of course allowed and it's a very basic boxing technique. It's (anti) southpaw boxing 101

Do you guys think a guy with very fast head movement to the sides (I can't follow him) had a kickboxing coach in Serbia who also taught them Boxing? Isn't it unusual for an average kickboxer to have lightinging fast head movement stepping in?

He also leans down low on one side of his shoulder and is incredibly akward. I can't read him.

If you think boxers don't use this, you don't watch enough boxing. Fricken Golovkin and Canelo both use it interchanging with high guards.
